I've been a member at CrossFit Prime for over 3 years and it has been my best fitness decision!
Before joining Prime I did the typical gym routine; would go on the treadmill for an hour then use the machines and call it my workout for the day. Most of the time I left the gym feeling like I did not accomplish anything because I was putting in over an hour of work and seeing little results.
After training for my first & probably last marathon (ha) I knew I wanted to try a different type of fitness routine...running was getting old. One day I was flipping through the TV channels and came across the CrossFit Games (the women just looked so fit). After watching the Games I decided to Google CrossFit Gyms in my area and came across CrossFit Prime.
When I first walked into Prime I will admit that I was quite intimidated because this type of workout was like nothing I've ever done before. I was quickly put at ease because the trainers and members at prime were very welcoming. I could not do one pull-up or push-up when I first started at Prime. Today I can say that is no longer the case, I can do multiple pull-ups and push-ups unassisted even handstand push-ups which was something I never thought I could do. The conditioning I have developed has helped me outside of the gym in many ways - one being breaking my best time in the Broad Street Run two years in a row with no specific training beyond that at CrossFit Prime. I am in the best shape that I have ever been in because of training at CrossFit Prime I would recommend this type of training regardless of what your overall fitness goals are.
The atmosphere at Prime is awesome because everyone wants the best for each other inside and outside of the gym - this environment is clearly created by the owner Mark DiSalvo and his team of trainer's dedication. I've made lifelong friends at Prime & I'm so happy that I came across this gym 3 years ago. Come check it out!
